Music

I haven't written anything in a while and I just figured I would write a little bit and maybe put some song lyrics in here. I love music but I listen to country music the most. Here are a few things that make country music the best...in my opinion.

1. I grew up in a military family and was raised to be very patriotic. A lot of country songs are patriotic and talk about how great it is to be an American (even if things are a little down hill at the moment), and how American soldiers are heroes. I am a big softie anyway, but I cry just about every time I hear a song about an American solider. And it has just gotten worse now that Tyler is in the Army.

2. The songs that aren't patriotic are songs that I can relate to. I'm not a redneck but I am country (there is a fine line between the two) and proud to be. I love the songs that I can't help but smile when I listen to the lyrics because I know exactly what they are talking about.

3. Country songs are so easy to sing to. I don't know if I am that great of a singer but I love to sing. And country is definitely the best genre of music to sing along with.

4. The love songs' lyrics talk about how love is supposed to be. I will give an example. Lee Brice's song Love Like Crazy is an amazing song. The chorus says: Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse 'I Love You'. Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense. Always treat your woman like a lady, never get too old to call her baby, never let your prayin' knees get lazy, and love like crazy...this is just so sweet.

5. There is a song for every mood that you are in no matter what and for every situation. They can bring you up and give you hope in a bad situation, they can make you feel better about a decision you made, just about anything.

This song is what is helping me with my situation with Josh.

I Keep On Lovin' YouReba McEntire

Love takes the patience of JobThat's what my Mama always saidFaith is the believe in something more than what you knowThat's what the Good Book saysYou gotta play the cards you gotWho knows what fate is holdingAt times you gotta go without knowing where you're going

That's why I keep on lovin' youI keep on lovin' youThrough the baby don't leave mesAnd never will againsAnd I promise tosI keep on lovin' you

Lord knows we've had our share of fightsOur sleepless nights, our ups and downsWe've had plenty and then some of baby I'm gones and turn aroundsSometimes I swear it might be easier to throw in the towelSomeday we're gonna look backSay look as us now

That's why I keep on lovin' youI keep on lovin' youThrough the baby don't leave mesAnd never will againsAnd I promise tosI keep on lovin' you

Keep on lovin' youThrough the I take it backsI didn't mean it like thatsI'd never hurt yousOh, I keep on lovin' you

I keep on lovin' youI keep on lovin' youThrough the I take it backsI didn't mean it like thatsI'd never hurt yousOh, I keep on lovin' youI keep on lovin' youI keep on lovin' you
